Blood pressure monitoring apparatus and method
First Claim
1. An apparatus for monitoring a blood pressure of a living subject, comprising:
- first judging means for judging whether a physical parameter which is obtained from the subject and which changes in relation with the blood pressure of the subject falls within a first reference range;
an alarm device which outputs an alarm when the first judging means makes a first negative judgment that the physical parameter does not fall within the first reference range;
second judging means for judging whether the physical parameter falls within a second reference range which is contained in the first reference range; and
a blood-pressure measuring device which includes a pressing band adapted to press a portion of the subject, and which automatically measures, using the pressing band, a blood pressure of the subject when the second judging means makes a second negative judgment that the physical parameter does not fall within the second reference range.

12. A method of monitoring a blood pressure of a living subject, including the steps of judging whether a physical parameter which is obtained from the subject and which changes in relation with the blood pressure of the subject falls within a first reference range and outputting an alarm when a first negative judgment that the physical parameter does not fall within the first reference range is made, the method comprising the steps of:
-
judging whether the physical parameter falls within a second reference range which is contained in the first reference range, and automatically measuring, using a pressing band pressing a portion of the subject, a blood pressure of the subject when a second negative judgment that the physical parameter does not fall within the second reference range is made. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
